Can on holiday. Clear golden color, white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, lightly grainy, malty bitter, lingering grainy bitterness. Mwah at best, don't like it much.

Can on holiday, camping out in Denmark. Finally got the tent up and everything ready for bed. Time for a beer at last. Clear golden color, white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, hayish, bitter. Lingering bitterness. Don't get anything else but I was thirsty so it was good enough.

Bottle shared by Jan & Charlotte when visiting Ulfborg on our holiday. Great to meet up! --500ml bottle 420/2000, bottled 1/28/21, thanks so much J&C! -- Opaque dark brown to black color, average to decent sized brown colored head. Aroma is malts, whiskey (rye whiskey I guess), light vanilla, liquorice. Flavor is malts, roasted malts, a slight note of burnt malts in the background, rye, cocoa, rye whiskey, booze, distant dark raisins. Very nice!

Bottle shared with Jan & Charlotte when visiting Ulfborg on our holiday. Great to meet up! Lightly unclear yellow pale golden color, small white head. Aroma and flavor are lightly malty, quite lemon-ish, lemon-ish bitter hoppy and light tart-bitter. Hmm not great.

4.4/10 Appearance 9 Aroma 2 Flavor 4.5 Texture 6 Overall 3.5
Bottle shared with Jan & Charlotte when visiting Ulfborg on our holiday. Great to meet up! Clear darker amber to red-brown color, small beige head. Aroma is horrible: green plants, old rotting leaves, herbs or spices. Weird. Flavor is malts, green plants, rotting leaves again, anise (?), honey, very weird. Not my thing at all. Is there peat in there as well? Hmm no not my thing at all. Bleh.

Bottle shared with Jan & Charlotte when visiting Ulfborg on our holiday. Great to meet up! Clear amber color, average sized off-white head. Aroma is malts, herbs, spices, gin. Flavor is malts, spices, herbs, gin kick in the back, I do get a cooked cabbage note in the end. Not as bad as the aroma, but not my kind of beer.

Bottle shared by Jan & Charlotte when visiting Ulfborg on our holiday. Great to meet up! Beautiful dark amber, red-brown color, medium sized off-white to beige head. Aroma is malts, bourbon, caramel, raisins. Flavor is malts, caramelized sugars, sticky sugars, liquor soaked raisins, bourbon. A bit thinner bodied than I would have thought, but still very solid. Absolutely delicious. An old school barley wine. Absolutely love it. Great beer.

Bottle (light gusher) shared with Jan & Charlotte when visiting Ulfborg on our holiday. Great to meet up! Amber color, average sized beige head. Aroma is malts, caramel, oddly something strawberry jam-ish in there and whisky. Flavor is malts, caramel, whisky, something sweet in there as well (Laura said it reminds her of sweet red wine) which is a nice touch and balances the beer. Quite complex in the end. A bit fizzy carbonation, or lively I should say. Pretty good I'd say.
